Curtis
Occupation: Flickhead Video assistant manager
First Appearance: Multiplex #72

Curtis is the assistant manager of Flickhead Video, as well as Linda's boyfriend and Jay's closest friend. He takes the rivalry between the Multiplex 10 and Flickhead waaay more seriously than anyone else, even going so far as to conspire with Gretchen to rig a Football '09 video game tournament against the Multiplex gang.

"Curtis" is apparently his last name.

Jay
Occupation: Flickhead Video staff
First Appearance: Multiplex #72

SHOW HISTORY

HIDE HISTORY

Jay used to be the resident surly Asian movie snob at Flickhead Video, the video store two doors away from the Multiplex 10. He began seeing Becky from the Multiplex on New Year's, 2007, but he broke up with her because he felt she was still in love with Jason. A few months later, Becky appeared at Flickhead Video and asked Jay to give her another chance, although Jay doesn't entirely know the events leading up to her decision. Things seemed to progress well, and they have been officially boyfriend/girlfriend for over a year now.

Jay was occasionally torn between his loyalty to Becky and to Flickhead Video, but when he learned that Curtis had conspired with Gretchen in order to win a Football '09 tournament against the Multiplex gang, he quit — and started working at the Multiplex.

One year later, Jay proposed to Becky on Valentine's Day, and her reaction was… not what he had hoped. They broke up, and he went back to Flickhead Video, where his friend Curtis welcomed him with open arms.

Gretchen Queen
Occupation: Flickhead Video staff
First Appearance: Multiplex #67

SHOW HISTORY

HIDE HISTORY

Shortly after Gretchen began working at the Multiplex, she created the Multiplex Examiner, a monthly one-woman zine about the Multiplex 10 Cinemas and the personal lives its staff. Gretchen had a sexual relationship with Brian in order to get office gossip from him, but when his source dried up, she eagerly threw him to the wolves for a good scoop.

Gretchen has been cultivating Calvin as a new source of information — but she bit off more than she could chew recently by getting Franklin fired. The Multiplex gang (and some friends) conspired to fool her into printing a story about Jason and Melissa having an affair, and Neil gave her the option of ending the Multiplex Examiner, getting fired, or quitting (in exchange for a little dirt on Allen).

Gretchen chose Door #3 and called in a favor Curtis from Flickhead for a job at the video store.

Multiplex Examiners can be found for the following months: September 2006, November 2007, December 2007, March 2008, November 2008, and February 2009.

Frederick (“Freddie”) Jenkins
Occupation: Flickhead Video staff
First Appearance: Multiplex #110

SHOW HISTORY

HIDE HISTORY

Freddie is an employee of Flickhead Video. He is not related to Franklin.

After Franklin had hosted a video game tournament at the Multiplex 10 and gotten fired for it, he and Jay offered to give Franklin their cut of the winnings, but instead, Franklin (quoting The Godfather) suggested that Freddie could do him a favor sometime instead. Franklin apparently called in that favor by having him help the Multiplex 10 gang feed Gretchen a false story for The Multiplex Examiner. As it turned out, Freddie rather enjoyed the interrogation process.

Melinda (“Linda”)
Occupation: Flickhead Video staff
First Appearance: Multiplex #72

SHOW HISTORY

HIDE HISTORY

Linda works at Flickhead Video with her boyfriend Curtis and the rest of the gang. While (some of) the boys of the Multiplex 10 fancy themselves as having some sort of rivalry with the Flickhead Video staff, Linda and the girls of the Multiplex 10 don't seem to care too much.
